you'll be surprised actually. I've probably done atleast 20,000ks on them so far with more life in them. With this amount of camber you need to flip them over to make full use of them but with the amounts of comments i've gotten it's worth it.

Rear guards have been pumped and flaired slightly. fronts have only been rolled. And to tell your the truth, the soarer with its suspension set up drives better and nicer then my s15 at stock height on coilovers

Question for you guys.. I just bought some 20" x 8.5 with 40 offset

What is the widest tyre I can fit with this offset?

I was looking to go 245 30 20 all the way around

Will this work? Thanks all I will post pictures when they are mounted.

235/30/20 is the best match.

Tend to agree with Matt - they sound like the kind of wheels someone with a Mazda Familiar would fit because they don't have any room for anything wider under the guards. If you have a Soarer, why not go a bit wider?

If you can't afford it, then step down an inch or two in radius and up the width (20's look fing stupid on a Soarer IMO anyway) 18" tyres are much, much more affordable, even in much wider treads.

245 30 20 or 235 30 20 is close as you can get to factory specs I just want to exchange rubber for rim. If I were to go 275 30 20 that raises my car over 2 inches and I dont want to be riding in the sky or killing tyres with a camber adjustment, also having to lower my car. It aint a hot rod its just a Soarer boyz... it just gets me to work

you said you have 20x8.5's???
if so 245's will be flush with the rim. so if you have 275's will bulge out
